Started trading email with Midge. She asked for a picture and I am glad she did.
The installed speaker is not the same as what the BOM said it was.
The best I can tell it is still a Star, but I can't tell if the first letter is a F or a P, but it looks like FR-050-A1421. What is clear is that a 16 ohm, 5 watt speaker, not 2 watt as called out.
Also some of the coating around the diameter of the magnet has frayed. I don't know if this is cosmetic or related to the garbled sound.
By the way is there supposed to be a cover over this ?
